Natalie Tambini

Natalie Tambini has more than thirty years’ experience as a national newspaper and magazine journalist. She created and wrote Cosmopolitan’s ‘Confessions’ columns, supplements and books and interviewed countless celebrities during nine years at TV Choice and Total TV Guide – infamously missing a slot with Julia Roberts. Her work has been syndicated worldwide, and she has acted as ghostwriter for several celebrity columnists on women’s magazines.

Her fascination with murderers and the need to understand them stems from a childhood passion for Agatha Christie novels while growing up in Norfolk and Hampshire. She has also interviewed many victims of crimes as a real-life journalist, and those who endured miscarriages of justice, including an innocent man who spent 20 years on death row.

Natalie lives in Surrey, where her crime novels are largely set. She is currently a journalist and podcast producer at Hearst UK.
